Notorious murderer and rapist released by Putin to fight in war killed
A notorious murderer and rapist has been killed in Russia’s war against Ukraine, it was confirmed today.
The Tulun Maniac - who killed twice and raped a suspected 27 girls and women - had been sentenced to remain in jail until 2045.
But Vladimir Putin this year freed the 24-stone sex fiend - bulldozer driver Pavel Shuvalov, 55 - to fight in his war in Ukraine, even though some of his helpless victims were children.
The “mass rapist”, married to a respected and unsuspecting teacher with two children, only lasted three weeks at the front before he was killed in clashes with the Ukrainian army, according to reports.
His death in occupied Luhansk seven months ago was confirmed by three military sources, said a report from Lenta.ru. His body “could not be recovered” from the war zone.

Russia has put convicts in the most difficult advanced assault operations during the war, say reports. The heavyweight killer “fell asleep, snoring, on top of his trapped victims”, a court heard during his trial in 2021. Police suspected some 60 rape victims - aged between 13 and 40 - but in many cases they refused to testify against him, or the statute of limitations applied because he had evaded police for so long. His reign of terror in Tulan, Irkutsk region, started in 1992.
Police investigator Evgeny Karchevsky said a “characteristic feature of his crimes” was falling asleep after raping his victims who could not escape because of his 24-stone weight. "Very often, immediately after the rape, the maniac fell asleep right on top of the victim,” he said. “The victims say that with his huge weight he simply enveloped the woman lying under him and began to snore. It was impossible to break free from under this (24-stone) bulk.”
A 'characteristic element' of the beast's attacks was that he would lay on top of his victims and fall asleep afterwards (IC Russia/e2w)One victim, Valentina Danilova, who waived her anonymity, said: “He attacked me and my cousin from behind, with a knife. It was over 17 years ago, but I still remember everything so clearly. At first I tried to escape, but cut myself on a knife, blood flowed down my clothes and leg. I realised that it was too dangerous, and I stopped trying to run. He took us to a maternity hospital building site by the road, threw his jacket on the floor and tormented us for several hours. I lost my voice screaming but no one came to help. I managed to escape to get help when he fell asleep on top of my cousin." A victim called Diana said: “Only when he was already snoring could I eventually pull myself free and escape."
Former police investigator Artyom Dubynin said: “He held a knife to the throat of each of his victims so they couldn't fight back.” Shuvalov “could torture his victims for the whole night or several hours”.
One victim pleaded with the court to "castrate" her attacker (IC in Irkutsk region/east2west news)A series of police blunders meant the so-called “Tulun Maniac” was allowed to continue his reign of terror for almost three decades, it is reported. A woman identified as Victim number 8 said Shuvalov - who smelled of diesel - should have faced castration. “Give him to me now and I would castrate him myself," she said during his convction. "Honestly, my hands won't shake. So many years have passed and I have always had this desire.”
Shuvalov's “shocked” adult son said after the verdict: “I don't believe that my father could lead a double life.” His daughter in law told Komsomolskaya Pravda: “He is a kind, sweet man. Don't you think his wife would have suspected something if he was committing crimes?"
Some 15,000 men were subjected to genetic tests during the investigation. In all, around 3,000 men were interrogated before the suspect was held. Shuvalov was convicted for double murder and two specimen charges of rape, and sentenced to 24 years in jail. Severe flooding destroyed key documents on rapes in his case.
